I raise cattle in Virginia, and I can't graze my animals for anything like ~$1.60/AUM. I can't help but wonder if the cattle grazed at that rate on public land depress prices paid for eastern cattle, since our break-even price would be higher it's hard to compete and of course there is a bit of over-supply right now. Does anyone have any non-biased statistics on the cost of raising a calf on public land in the west, versus private land in the east? I don't believe running cattle on public land is always environmentally unsound, but I would object to a government subsidy that puts the eastern farmer at a distinct disadvantage. Chrissie
